David Anderson 54e6c3a290 version: use OSS repo's version when building.
When building with redo, also include the git commit hash
from the proprietary repo, so that we have a precise commit
that identifies all build info (including Go toolchain version).

Add a top-level build script demonstrating to downstream distros
how to burn the right information into builds.

Adjust `tailscale version` to print commit hashes when available.

Fixes #841.

# Tailscale
https://tailscale.com
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
## Overview
This repository contains all the open source Tailscale client code and
the `tailscaled` daemon and `tailscale` CLI tool. The `tailscaled`
daemon runs primarily on Linux; it also works to varying degrees on
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and Windows.
The Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
## Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros at
https://pkgs.tailscale.com .
## Other clients
The [macOS, iOS, and Windows clients](https://tailscale.com/download)
use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI
wrappers that are not open source.
## Building
```
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
```
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use `build_dist.sh`
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
```
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
```
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
`build_dist.sh`, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
We only guarantee to support the latest Go release and any Go beta or
release candidate builds (currently Go 1.15) in module mode. It might
work in earlier Go versions or in GOPATH mode, but we're making no
effort to keep those working.
## Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on
[the issue tracker](https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues).
